And your budget is and you are from where , All these sorts of things help.

Ray or Brent or anybody else have this style steering wheel around. Does not have to have the button's on as I could use my existing one's also no need for the airbag.

Yup it will be the final stage resistor, Exact same thing happened to mine a couple of weeks back. Its a common fault with the E46's, You could get one off of Brent or Ray but being second hand who knows how long it may last. I bought a new one from the dealer, very pricey but at least it should give me no problems for quite some time. Here is a link to the DIY of replacing one on a rhd >>DIY for replacing final stage resistor<<

Epic just epic.

I did this but without adding the buttons on my E46. I used my existing garage remote control and wired it into the map light switch. Push the button once and door opens push it again and door closes. Works a treat, Just solder shorted the micro switches to on and put a resistor and fuse inline to the power from the map light switch and bingo. All fits in behind where the interior and map lights are. No muss no fuss. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....st&p=351061

He came to the meet we had some time ago if its the same one, Can't remember his name, he kept up with all the boys over the port hills. Was a mint car.

Did a double take when i seen this plate out the corner of my eye because at first i thought it said hybrid , Was on a nice X5 though.

They better not as nobody has mentioned anything to me about having to pay any difference.

Got a call from them today, Screen has to come ex Germany, At least they are fronting up and getting what i asked for.

Put mine into the workshop today to fix the burnt out fsr plug, its now spending the night while a plug turns up. Also got a call from the glass people and windscreen has to come ex Germany so there a little wait for that.

I can just play music via bluetooth on the dynavin unit in mine and it sounds fine and mine is just a sony ericsson c510.

Andy best thing to do mate is get it scanned as soon as possible to find out what its throwing out.

No not on mine. Otherwise I guess they could only replace with OEM. I just don't want to be shafted with some generic piece of sh*t.

Couple of question's really, Had to do a trip this weekend up to Nelson and on the way windshield got clobbered by some a**hole speeding past in a roadworks. Its put a crack which is to long to fix on the top left hand corner of the screen. My insurance company is State so gave them a ring and they said no problem's and referred me to smith and smith. Got a call from them and they said yup they have a stock screen there they can put in but I said is it OEM and he said errrmmm don't know, I said I want an OEM screen with the green strip like mine. He said ok I will get hold of the branch and they will have to source one. How can I tell its an OEM screen they replace it with apart from having bmw on it, The 3% tint ??. Anything else, Guess i could ask to see the shipping receipt. The other question is just over 2 weeks ago I replaced my FSR for the climate control, This morning when I went out to the car up in Nelson I get no response from the fan and it looks like the part has already packed up. I have the receipt from the dealer for the new part, If I go in they should replace it at no charge correct ??

Well mate it looks like you have alot more patience than I would. I could just not work with the public, within the first 15mins somebody would be getting a punch on the nose lol.

Got home today to find mine sitting at my door step which Andy delivered in person while he was down here. Just a pity I was out of town would have loved to have shot the breeze with him and checked out his new toy. I swapped out my front bumper trim and threw on the euro frames and on went the plates. f**kin nice they are to. I will definitely be in on the next round and get me some more but next time something I can put on for photo shoot's etc

If you want to get it sorted properly I would be taking it to a tech , May have to do some live monitoring to find out what is really going on.

Yup mine had it as well, It was the first thing I removed.

Most of those watchers would be peeps from here i would say

I am using primo on my dynavin for nav with latest nz maps and Gurjon skin, Give me a yell if you need anything.

No sagging interior FTW, Looks and feels so much slicker when its all done.

Got a f**ken puncture, Took it to Tony's tyre service and they fixed it for free, Did not know they did that. I thought you had to have bought the tyre from them or something. So was Woot got it done for free, Cheers guys. (needed a new valve stem)

Was $402 all up including the gst. Off the top of my head was 35% tint, But add that to the 3% already in bmw windows and it puts it were I wanted it to be. Yup price was for all the window's , Except the windscreen of course.

Picked it up this arvo, Looks real good, Its hard to take pictures so it does it justice. I am more than happy with it and its just the right amount of tint i wanted.

Good things come to those who wait , Congrats on the new member of the family.
